METH USE DISORDER
What is Meth Addiction?
Among people aged 12 or older in 2021, about 1.6 million had a methamphetamine or meth use disorder in the past 12 months, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Additionally, in the same year, approximately 32,537 people died from an overdose involving psychostimulants, such as meth.
Methamphetamine use disorder, or commonly referred to as meth addiction, is a subtype of stimulant use disorder. This condition is defined by an uncontrollable and problematic pattern of methamphetamine use that can result in significant impairment or distress in an individual’s life. Essentially, it is a form of substance use disorder that requires professional intervention.
At Wise Path Recovery Centers™, we utilize the DSM-5 to evaluate the presence and severity of methamphetamine use disorder in individuals seeking our services.
Common risk factors may include:
Family history of SUD
Mental health conditions like anxiety or depression
Trauma especially during childhood
Stressful life events, such as the loss of a loved one, job loss, or financial hardship, can increase the likelihood of turning to drugs as a way to cope
